Hi, where were you able to get the 3dMaxPider ones, here in Canada the websites seem to indicate they don't make mats for the Clarity. Thx.
I'm enjoying mine, they fit great. I particularly like how they cover the dead pedal better than the OEM mats. I bought them from Amazon (US): https://tinyurl.com/rtyzt59
I'm still using the OEM rear mats because they seem just fine to me.
 
I got some accessories like the factory trunk mat, center console tray, and kick mats with backseat organizers, but my favorite so far are the seat covers from big-ant. They protect the seats enough without looking cheap. The whole seat covers just didn't look good but these look really nice. The reason I have them is because my previous car with the ventilated leather on the seat bottom ripped and I didn't want that to happen again.

I'm always looking out for accessories.. what is your favorite?

Hi, I took your recommendation and got the sames ones but unable to install them. How were you able to connect the plastic piece to the hook on the elastic band?

Does the seat heater function ok with this?
 
I like the hooks (just installed them last month) but one note of warning, I can just barely see them through the passthrough window now in my rear view mirror. I barely notice it anymore, but that is a consideration.

I also purchased the CoverCraft Sunshade UVS100, partially because it is available in white to match my car. Here is the picture. It was pricey at 80 USD, but I am happy with it. It is the rigid folding kind and it fits very well. One note, I had to search it out by listing my car as a 2018, though as they didn't have it in the search properly for 2021. But since the cars are identical for windshield access, I think its just a matter of them not verifying it.

I also purchased this screen protector. https://www.amazon.com/Protector-20...648759228&sprefix=sktu+clarity,aps,90&sr=8-22

It is probably not really necessary, but it was inexpensive and I am glad that I have it.

I should add that probably the second best accessory I added to my Clarity is Android Auto with the Screen2Auto app. It allows you to view any app on your phone through the Clarity infotainment system. And the number 1 accessory I added is the Comma2 from comma.ai which provides full hands-off level 2 autopilot. A dramatic improvement over the stock ACC and LKAS systems.
 
My favorite: Comma 2. This is a great help when driving. ACC and LKAS are improved over the OEM. It will change lanes for you when you turn on the signal and give a slight tug on the steering wheel. A bit abrupt when changing lanes, but it works. Did my first "extended" drive yesterday, 60 miles on mostly Interstate, and the car drove itself the entire Interstate portion and most of the side streets.

I wrote a Comma2 installation guide for Clarity.

VIOFO A129 Duo Bundle with Low Light Vision | 2 Channel 1080P Front and Rear Dash Camera.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/202678338661?epid=1923124427&hash=item2f30920465:g:iKsAAOSwgqRc2aos. This is a very hard to find item. I paid $20 for mine 2 years ago. It is designed to mount on the rear of the car, but I put it on the front so we can determine how close we are to objects. My wife is 5'-1" and can't see the front of the car at all. I mounted an on/off switch and removed the buzzer warning. It was picking up bushes on the side of the road and the baby bumps in the lanes. We don't mind the lights warning us about them, but the buzzer drove us nuts.
